Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm currently working on a gentoo based system which has to run on a usb |
4 |
stick. |
5 |
|
6 |
I've been playing with the uclibc profile but that still gave me a lot of |
7 |
unneeded things. For example, I can't why how util-linux, automake, autoconf |
8 |
etc. etc. have to depend on perl. So I took another look and saw the embedded |
9 |
profile which to my surprise also uses busybox but doesn't use uclibc.... |
10 |
|
11 |
Is there a way to combine these two profiles or is it better to make one of my |
12 |
own? At the moment I would go with the second option since it would allow me |
13 |
to use busybox, uclibc and also give me the opportunity to leave utilities as |
14 |
gawk, grep, gzip and tar away because busybox already supplies them. I'll |
15 |
have to take the fact that these programs sometimes aren't fully compatible |
16 |
with their GNU relatives for granted. |
17 |
|
18 |
So basically I'm planning to create a whole new profile which doesn't include |
19 |
the base files either since it forces me to install all these utilities I |
20 |
don't want. |
21 |
|
22 |
Or is there an easier way? |
23 |
|
24 |
Currently I'm using the buildroot scripts from uclibc.org but I just miss the |
25 |
abilities of a "package manager" so that's why I'm trying it this way. |
